the watchtower—study edition | september 2023. study article 39. let mildness be your strength.
11 if a workmate asks, for example, why we do not celebrate birthdays, consider: could he be wondering whether we are allowed to have a good time?
or might he feel that our position will dampen the company’s team spirit?
The birthday & holiday ban is an isolation tactic
Which the borg has adopted over the decades to enforce its members isolation techniques from "normal citizens".
Manipulating members and keeping them in the cult mentality.
To put the cult in place of family.
And,,,of notable mention to make more money $$$ flow in to the contribution boxes,,instead of family wholesome things like presents, Xmas gifts & good food.

The Borg has just picked and picked what they deem to be pagan,,this goes back to Rutherford era which has been passed down over generations.
Actually,,,everything you do, day to day has pagan origins.
The Borg assigns flimsy,unbiblical, biased arguments against holidays, birthdays and such.

By design?
Good observation. Make your life as cumbersome and as difficult as possible. Work,work, work, work,work make it horrible and put that paradise in the future,, a mirage.
It fits that carrot and stick mentality beautifully.

The formerly known as Cedars now Lloyd Evans has had his day on youtube.
He was instrumental.
Its served it's purpose. We can put his channel to bed.
Lets bring back the Magnificent 7!!!!
Yes. Those were the good days. When we were all ""waking up"" with confirmation!!! And that we weren't ""alone".
i have a question about this article.. https://www.jw.org/en/jehovahs-witnesses/faq/jw-education-school/.
higher education can lead to moral and spiritual dangers.
a bible proverb says: "the shrewd one sees the danger and conceals himself.
LHG;
I bet the long time, old school JWs are really pissed off right now with this "no hours" requirement now.
They just don't show it, or let on.🙂

Thats one thing in JWdom the vast rank and file are completely caught off guard for and ill-equipped for.
Is retirement.
eight million jehovah's witnesses do not believe they are saved, so how can they in short order tell you how to get saved on your deathbed?.
instead, they might tell you, “look you are about to die and the great tribulation has not started yet, so you don't need to repent and believe anything really.
just die and your death will pay for your sins and unless you have sinned against the holy spirit, you will be raised along with most everybody else and learn from others such as abraham, isaac and jacob, how to live for the kingdom during the 1000 year reign of christ.
I know the Borg always talks about "one true God".
Well how many Gods can there be?.
When I was a full bore PIMI at one time and directed to John 1:1 in my own NWT. And I felt like a complete idiot when I was pointed out in one verse ''god"" and in the same verse "God".
There's no getting around that.
You feel like an idiot.
